Commitment to Innovation and Quality

Valassis Digital accelerated its commitment to innovation and quality with the release of the Valassis Consumer GraphTM, which makes shopping behavior, in-market intent and store preferences of consumers available to advertisers at the individual, household and neighborhood levels.

The Valassis Consumer GraphTM connects layers of vital intelligence, exclusive to Valassis Digital and available to advertisers, including:

Predictive, cross-device intelligence which captures browsing and buying behavior across an individual’s devices, yielding one holistic view of the consumer;

In-market and interest intelligence that understands and predicts what consumers want both now and over time;

Location intelligence that brings the consumer world to life – where they live, shop and visit; and

Intelligence at the individual, household and neighborhood levels to provide the best level of precision scale for advertising KPIs.

“The key to great advertising is understanding the consumer; and to understand consumer behavior, advertisers need to observe consumers in both digital and real-world environments,” said Tran. “Our solution not only predicts consumer behavior and builds compelling media moments for brands but also delivers that media with the highest levels of quality.”

Expanded Client Roster

Valassis Digital enjoyed strong client growth in 2017, signing new clients while expanding relationships with existing ones. The combined entity now has approximately 1,500 clients across key verticals including retail, CPG, and health care.

“We are proud of the company that we keep,” said Tran. “Our commitment to innovation and quality is best represented by the trust our clients invest with us in both campaign size and vertical markets.”
